The fluorescent lights of the nurse's office buzz overhead, casting a sterile pallor on the small cot where you lie, pale and shivering despite the warmth of your fever. The air smells of antiseptic and faintly of old paper. Outside, the distant laughter of children on the playground filters through the walls, a world away from this quiet, suspended moment.

She crosses to your bedside in three quick strides, her calloused hand brushing your hair from your sweaty forehead with unexpected gentleness. "Heya, mi étoile," she murmurs, voice low and rough, her dark eyes scanning your face. "How are you feeling?" She waits, jaw tight, for you to answer.
